HR-Z SERIES Mild Radiation Resistance LVDT

Transcription

1 SERIES Mild Radiation Resistance LVDT SPECIFICATIONS Mild Radiation Resistant High Reliability Large core-to-bore clearance Stroke ranges from ± 0.05 to ±10 inches AC operation from 400Hz to 5kHz Stainless steel housing Imperial or metric threaded core FEATURES Mild radiation resistance Large 1/16 core-to-bore clearance Shock and vibration tolerant Electromagnetic/electrostatic shielding Calibration certificate supplied with each unit APPLICATIONS Mild radiations areas High temperature applications Process control Factory automation Applications with large misalignments The Series LVDTs are a variant of the popular HR Series. The Series provide the optimum performance required for a majority of mild radiation applications. The large 1/16 inch [1.6mm] bore-to-core radial clearance provides for ample installation misalignments and therefore reduces the application costs. Featuring a high output voltage and a broad operating frequency range, these versatile and highly reliable LVDTs deliver worry-free and precise position measurements at temperatures up to 300 F [150 C]. Available in a variety of stroke ranges from ±0.05 to ±10 inches, the Series can be configured with a metric threaded core as an option. With mild radiation resistance (10 12 NVT total integrated flux; 10 7 rads Gamma), the Series is compatible with the full line of Measurement Specialties LVDT signal conditioners. Like in most of our LVDTs, the windings are vacuum impregnated with a specially formulated, high temperature, flexible resin, and the coil assembly is potted inside its housing with a two-component epoxy. This provides excellent protection against hostile environments such as high humidity, vibration and shock. SENSOR SOLUTIONS /// Series Rev. A 5/2016 Page 1

2 RADIATION RESISTANCE Certain applications require resistance to a combination of gamma radiation, neutron radiation and high temperature. Before considering detailed specifications and suitability for a particular application, a review of the following working definitions and equivalents is appropriate. Total integrated neutron flux The total integrated neutron flux (also called neutron fluence) is the neutron flux integrated over time. Neutron flux: the total distance travelled by all neutrons per unit time and volume Formula for neutron flux: number of neutrons/volume x distance/time = neutron density x velocity Neutron density: number of neutrons (n) per unit volume Formula for total integrated neutron flux: neutron density x velocity x time = neutron density x distance Unit for total integrated neutron flux: n/m 3 x m = n/m 2 (n: number of neutrons; m: meter) or NVT (n/cm 2 ) Conversion: 1 NVT = 10 4 n/m 2 Gamma-ray total integrated dose (TID) radiation The absorbed dose of ionizing radiation is the amount of energy deposited per unit of mass. Units: rad (radiation absorbed dose): radiation that will deposit 0.01 Joule of energy per kilogram of matter Gy (Gray): radiation that will deposit 1 joule of energy per kilogram (SI unit) Conversion: 1 Gy = 100 rad All radiation produces some damage, therefore, the issue becomes how much radiation and what kind of radiation can an object sustain while maintaining its operation specification. At best, this can only be an estimate. When radiant energy falls on an object, equal amounts of energy from different sources may result in greatly differing amounts of damage depending on the form of radiation, i.e. gamma rays, neutrons, etc. These different sources may also result in qualitatively different kinds of damage. One method to quantify these differences is to determine the rate of radiation that a unit can withstand without instantaneous and unacceptable damage. Another method is to determine the total integrated flux that can be absorbed before wear-out damage from radiation occurs. The distinction between rate of flux and total integrated flux must be kept clearly in mind. There is no direct relationship between neutron fluence and gamma radiation. If we assume equal energy dissipation from differing sources, the energy absorbed by the unit will vary with its absorption cross section. If we try to equalize damage, there is even more uncertainty because of the qualitative differences of the damage caused by various forms of radiation. SENSOR SOLUTIONS /// Series Rev.
